A missed call & The call of the Wild

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Some of you have been writing in saying they’re having difficulty following the slang so i’m explaining things only for this post. Hopefully you’ll realise how annoying (and seemingly cocky) it can be..

http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/17-07/st_best This piece reminded me of my good friend Mark. The chap’s been over in India for a while and i missed his call in the morning while i was out trying to secure some fishing gear and a tub (that’s a boat for you). The house i’m staying in right now at the Lakes is connected with Mark as well. He cooled his heels here for a bit after getting into some sop with his old man which was after he go in some trouble with the fuzz (that’s cops) over a nifty little dame he was seeing back then. So, i’m here on holiday and missing the action already! Isn’t it tough to be doing nothing? there should be a pre-holiday to help you break into a holiday mood, don’t you think? I’m going to give this one a think while gathering my dinner (that’s fishing for you). any suggestions for a good fish recipe?

Riding on the Legend Reborn

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

I’m off to the lake districts, for a much needed snoozer and some rest, away from this madness. When I searched for some weather update on the lakes this one caught my eye. Imaginatively titled ‘Hazards’, it says ‘high risk’ at least trice in the same paragraph. Clearly a case of overkill or will I find out otherwise? suffice to say my interest is piqued. An old friend has kindly agreed to let me use his cottage up after the Hardknott pass and I think I might even ride out (on the Triumph, what else) there! The Thunderbird has been giving me the you-don’t-care-for–me-anymore look of late! Come to think of it I’m not really leaving the legend behind; the Triumph Thunderbird is also advertised as the Legend reborn
